Doubts remain over Viktor Gyokeres' ability to transfer his prolific form in Portugal to the Premier League.

Speaking on his own podcast, Rio Ferdinand Presents, the six-time Premier League winner asks: "Is there enough - after he's physically matched - to get him a goal?"

The Sweden striker, 27, has been heavily linked with Manchester United and Arsenal after scoring 97 goals in 102 matches during two seasons in Portugal. He has a 100m euro (£85m) release clause in his contract.
